News flash! You can reduce stress with meditation and without:

• Becoming a Buddhist monk
• years of training
• sitting on mountain tops
• Handing over piles of cash to a guru

When some people think of meditation, they picture some long haired tree hugger, sitting in a lotus posture for 6 hours a day and chanting OM. In other words, it is not something that they can see themselves being associated with or gaining any benefit from. But I can tell you from my own experience that, as the pace of life and the stress that comes with it increase, meditation can be a life saver. And it doesn’t have to be hard either. In fact, it can be effortless.

It is true that traditional forms of meditation do require practice, sometimes years of it, some dedication and commitment, and they aren’t even guaranteed to work! Who needs all that when you just want to unwind after a hard day at the office?

Fortunately, technology has come to the rescue. It is now possible to buy a CD that will allow you, in minutes, to reach a state of tranquility that 20 year meditators find it hard to achieve. This is done by using binaural beat technology.

Your brain produces electrical signals across a range of frequencies, all the time. These frequencies vary depending on what kind of mental activity you are doing and how stressed or relaxed you are.

By using headphones, a different frequency can be played in each ear. This difference is resolved by the brain to produce frequencies associated with deep relaxation. This process, known as entrainment, was discovered back in the seventies.

But who needs to know all that? All that matters is that it has been proven since then, to produce results. And that’s what we want, isn’t it. No effort. No fuss. Just press play and chill. Reduce stress with meditation like a master.
